1. Is there a reason Leviticus has not been removed and a "progressive" bible created?

And which parts of the bible are his law and his rules? I suppose anything that was given directly by angles, the ten commandments, and the actual words that Jesus supposedly spoke... anything else? Also, with a bible that has grievous mistranslated passages like that, along with some horrible laws such as those contained in Leviticus, do you find that casts doubt on the authenticity of those passages that are considered literal commandments from God? I'm not sure what the criteria is exactly.
